R.I.P. Karl Malden

Karl Malden, star of the 1954 Oscar-winning movie On the Waterfront and the TV series The Streets of San Francisco (not to mention endless American Express card commercials), passed away yesterday at the age of 97. He won an Oscar for a supporting role in 1951's A Streetcar Named Desire, but oddly enough, his last role was as a priest in the TV series The West Wing. (His most famous movie role, of course, involved his role as a priest in On the Waterfront.)

He will be missed. And no doubt giving all the Terry Malloys up there one last pep talk...
